Imagine using "US Global Hegemony" as anything but a pejorative. The US has been overthrowing governments, aiding (and participating) in colonialism, and suppressing actual free trade and free market economics for 100+ years. Iran is "extorting" companies whose trade props up the Gulf states who sold their souls (and sovereign wealth funds) to the US corporatocracy.
